Few Thoughts on a Saturday Evening

This
month was entirely tiresome and thinking about the work and experience,
I sometimes re-think as to if it was me who really was busy the entire
month. Everything started off with the print media internship. It was
all uncertain when a translation assignment was entitled for us. Late,
we came to know that it was a silent entrance into the next stage of the
internship. In seven days, I got to be the part of the media cell at
International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK). The work was good and got
one of the best experiences. The thirteen days at the festival was heck
lot of work plus fun. We had to do press releases and by the end of the
third day, it was all becoming easy. Got to see some good films too, of
which two dominant ones are Kini and Adams (Idrissa Ouedraggo) and My
Marlon and Brando (Huseyin Karabey). Another one which struck me was
Free Zone(Amos Gitai) for its first scene of a lady crying. The song is
still ringing in my ears. The second last day ended with a sweet sour
note. The treat at Saahi Darbar was delicious but the girls in the team
had to undergo a minor accident. Yes as I said it was minor. But how
would you feel when you come to know that the driver was drunk??? And
that too when some people at the festival knew he was and they sent us
with him? Bad huh! Yeah! That’s exactly how I felt too. That anyway went
with the wind though we tried to swirl it up. One more fact that I
realized is that professional friends remain for the time being. And
this time also I had few ‘time being’ friends. It was a good experience
anyhow.

TWO:I
had seen Vaaranam Aayiram, Tamil movie by Gautham Vasudev Menon before
joining the internship. I loved this movie. I went to see it again. It
has done well at the box office and is still running in theatres here.
Though the movie is kind of filled with impractical incidents, the
fantasy of making one happy through impracticality has been applied
well. Hats off to Harris Jayaraj for the wonderful music; All the songs
are staying live in me specially Nenjukul Peidhidum, Mundhinam and Annul
Maele.

THREE:The
travel daily up and down is a good experience. Thiruvananthapuram is a
normal city and I have always found it normal while I live here. But I
seriously miss the place while I am at my native. The journey back from
native to the city (which is just 2 hours by bus) is one I enjoy
everytime. All the places seen again and again does not make me tired of
seeing it again. The closeness I feel with the city when the bus pulls
into the bus stand and move to my home makes me chant the words “Oh
God…Thiruvananthapuram, the City I love”.

FOUR:Not
having much commitments in life, being born to a wonderful dad and mom I
have had the privilege of living a tension free, independent life. Now
being a final year student, life is beginning to take serious turns. I
have started to think about the future courses and the like. But these
tensions get a temporary full stop (.) or a semi colon (;) let’s say,
when I get thoughts about the upcoming college tour.

FIVE:Till
last week, the evenings were rainy and cozy, and I used to feel
romantic, but today its not all the same. The weather is too hot and not
a musical one. so I have no romantic thoughts to be jotted down here.
Yes I did think of my love (No people, I haven’t found him yet, but
imaginations can be let loose) holding my hand and walking with me.
Err..is that too lame to be romantic?

One Saturday evening and
these are some thoughts that went through my mind. I am also looking
forward my hostel life that’s going to begin on January 1st. Oh yes that
reminds me of the New Year. Sometimes I have felt celebrations have
started to take a reverse turn. Well Anyway, Happy New Year all !!
